"You know what I want," he said, looking directly at Nicole.

"If it's the Fire Crest and Water Crest you're after, that’s going to be tough.

I'm not exactly planning on dying anytime soon." Nicole knew that without her death, the Crests wouldn't transfer ownership.

Lawrence simply looked at her, his silence making his intentions unclear.
